Is SP (AD for engineering) being truthful when he says his impending resignation has nothing to do with the current situation at the Lab?
Tri-Valley Cares needs to be on this if they aren't already. We need to make sure that NNSA and LLNL does not make good on promises to pursue such stupid ideas as doing Plutonium experiments on NIF. The stupidity arises from the fact that a huge population is placed at risk in the short and long term. Why do this kind of experiment in a heavily populated area? Only a moron would push that kind of imbecile area. Do it somewhere else in the god forsaken hills of Los Alamos. Why should the communities in the Bay Area be subjected to such increased risk just because the lab's NIF has failed twice and is trying the Hail Mary pass of doing an SNM experiment just to justify their existence? Those Laser EoS techniques and the people analyzing the raw data are all just BAD anyways. You know what comes next after they do the experiment. They'll figure out that they need larger samples. More risk for the local population. Stop this imbecilic pursuit. They wan...

This goes to the heart of the commitment of senior management. Are they here for the Laboratory, or just for the duration of their (short) contract commitment? You will see that a number of senior lab management seem to have their homes and families in other States.
Not an enduring (or at least comforting) situation in my view.
They're here to get their salaries pumped up for the duration of the contract. Once the dirty deed is done their bank accounts will be plush and as the previous poster said they'll move out of state and live the life. They've done their job an you'll remain here to suffer for the rest of your lives because you can't afford to leave and do the same.
I guess one retirement check isn't enough, hah? I only wiosh I could retire out at 50% of what these people make, I'd be set for life and never look back. Yes it is all about geting that check and never having to deal with the company again. There is far more to life than working for a living. LLNL is just a job that pays the bills and always has been just a job.
